It has been hypothesized that a balanced adult sex ratio is necessary for the full participation of ungulate females in reproduction and therefore hig...

Although pollution is a major driver of ecosystem change, models predicting the environmental fate of contaminants suffer from critical uncertainties ...

Habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, overexploitation and climate change pose familiar and new challenges to conserving natural populations throughout...

The management of migratory taxa relies on the knowledge of their movements. Among them, ontogenetic habitat shift, from nurseries to adult habitats, ...

Human activities can affect the behaviour and fitness of wildlife. However, the response of animals to nonlethal human activities has not been well-st...

Quantifying ecosystem functions in spatially explicit ways is important for management decisions in increasingly fragmented landscapes. Between-patch ...

Two ecological risks associated with the use of transgenic crops are transgene movement into wild populations and effects on non-target organisms, suc...

Better tools are needed to predict population connectivity in complex landscapes. 'Least-cost modelling' is one commonly employed approach in which di...

Conversion of natural and agricultural areas to conifer plantations is an important element of global change. Despite their widespread distribution an...

Habitat fragmentation is a principal threat to biodiversity and artificial river barriers are a leading cause of the global decline in freshwater biot...
